Desk: 90°. Car: 90°. Couch: 90°. Your knees are stuck — and that’s how the pain starts.
Knees are hinges built for a full arc but range you don’t use is range you lose.
This move re-feeds the deep bend, one knee at a time:
→ Control the depth per side
→ Keep the tissue long and supple
→ Move the joint’s lubricant through full range
Long-term knee insurance. 🦵
L-glutamine
200-5,000 mg 2-3x/day
This is the most abundant amino acid available for protein synthesis, with high concentrations found in skeletal muscle, lung, liver, brain and stomach tissue.
Glutamine makes up 50% of all amino acids in the blood, and 60% of all amino acids in tissue.
Glutamine’s functions include:
Support hGH levels
Helps maintain muscle mass
Improves immunity
Supports GI mucosal integrity
Glutamine is depleted by physical stress & trauma.
Individuals who are ‘over-trained’ generally have 9% less glutamine in muscle than normal.
Glutamine is also commonly found in many gut power mixes for healing leaky gut. I recommend it to all my patients when trying to fix their gut.
This is important information and I verified it’s 100% true
“If you pull off a tick within 72 hours, you can get a one-time dose of doxycycline and it is prophylactically helpful in preventing Lyme. One-time dose. I think everybody should know this”
This is accurate according to current CDC and IDSA/AAN/ACR guidelines
A single dose of doxycycline of 200 mg for adults or up to 200 mg for children of any age can be used as post-exposure to reduce the risk of Lyme disease after a tick bite. It should be started within 72 hours of tick removal
It’s recommended for bites in high Lyme disease risk areas like Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Upper Midwest and parts of the West Coast
Social media vs reality:
Megadose creatine (20+ g/day)
Reality: most people don't need more than 100 mg/kg/day
Protein every meal, eat a lot of protein
Reality: most people don't need more than 1.5 g/kg/day
Sleep 8 hours no matter what
Reality: 7 hours appears to be enough
Avoid all stress
Reality: stress is more harmful if you perceive it as harmful and stress is a necessary component to a lot of the benefits of exercise etc.
No carbs after 6 PM
Reality: total calories and body composition matter more than carb timing
Never eat processed food
Reality: overall diet quality matters more than occasional processed food
Blood sugar spikes are dangerous
Reality: in healthy people, temporary glucose rises after meals are normal and don't cause long-term harm
Plant toxins (lectins, oxalates, phytates, etc.)
Reality: most people who aren't allergic or medically sensitive don't need to avoid them; some of these compounds actually have anti-cancer effects
Never eat fruit because of sugar
Reality: whole fruit is associated with better metabolic health.
One "superfood" will transform your health
Reality: overall dietary pattern matters far more than any single food. There are no irreplaceable foods.
There's one optimal diet for everyone
Reality: several dietary patterns can support excellent health if they emphasize whole foods and adequate nutrition.
I agree with most of this message. One thing I’d add when you pray, don’t beg
Begging comes from lack speaking comes from certainty
That distinction matters
As the Bible says, Death and life are in the power of the tongue
Choose wisely 💙

Rolling your foot over a ball will not fix your plantar fasciitis
… but it can open a window for you to complete exercises that WILL solve your plantar fasciitis
Want bulletproof shoulders?
Most people do this exercise WRONG! I don’t care how heavy you go, if you can’t control the lower & pause, you’re not prioritizing stability!
cold showers are the most overhyped and simultaneously the most underhyped biohack depending on who you listen to
the instagram crowd: "cold showers will make you a millionaire sigma male"
the science: "cold exposure triggers measurable neuroendocrine changes that most pharmaceuticals can't replicate"
both are annoying. the second one is true
- cold water triggers a 200-300% increase in norepinephrine. that's the alertness and focus chemical. the spike lasts hours not minutes. one cold shower gives you cleaner energy than caffeine without the crash
- activates brown adipose tissue which burns calories to produce heat. you literally burn fat by being cold. not a lot. but consistently over months it's measurable
- reduces systemic inflammation. cold is the oldest anti-inflammatory tool humans have. ice on a swollen ankle is the same principle applied to your entire body
- increases dopamine by up to 250% for several hours. this is comparable to cocaine levels except it comes down gradually instead of crashing. this is the actual reason you feel incredible after cold exposure
- improves insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism
- strengthens vagal tone. the vagus nerve activation from cold is one of the fastest ways to shift from sympathetic to parasympathetic dominance
you don't need an ice bath. you don't need a $5,000 cold plunge. turn your shower to cold for the last 2-3 minutes. that's it. the research uses 11 minutes total per week as the minimum effective dose
the discomfort is the point. your nervous system is being trained to handle stress voluntarily. that training transfers to every other stressor in your life. not metaphorically. neurologically
Last week, Anthony Fauci notified us he will NOT voluntarily testify before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, even though he had previously agreed to do so.
Therefore, today I have issued a subpoena requiring him to testify before the Committee, in public, next month.
SAM ALTMAN WATCHING CHATGPT HALLUCINATE LIVE ON STAGE IS THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE SEEN ALL WEEK.
THE CEO OF OPENAI, ON STAGE, IN FRONT OF EVERYONE, WATCHING HIS OWN AI JUST MAKE THINGS UP IN REAL TIME.
AND HIS FACE SAYS IT ALL.
THIS IS THE GUY TELLING US AGI IS COMING SOON BTW.
Vinegar reduces blood pressure across multiple trials.
It is able to act like many blood pressure reducing drugs - by acting as an ACE inhibitor.
This leads to reduced aldosterone, the primary blood pressure raising hormone.
It also upregulates nitric oxide synthesis directly.
